My Parents Are Still Married, Jocelyn's Got Divorced: How Both Upbringings Impact Our Marriage Now Episode 95

My Parents Are Still Married, Jocelyn's Got Divorced: How Both Upbringings Impact Our Marriage Now Episode 95

If you are like Aaron and had a loving upbringing with lots of support from your parents, that means you would be better set up for a strong relationship rather than if you were like Jocelyn and had your parents go through a divorce or tough upbringing right? NOPE! Did you ever think that whatever your past upbringing, it could be what is causing any hiccups in your current relationship?

In this episode will hear each of our stories about how we grew up and how Aaron was limited in being able to express and feel love by not seeing examples of emotion and how to handle any conflicts growing up. While Jocelyn's story is one about feeling she had to be the rescuer and felt there needed to be drama to feel that her partner cared about her.

Whatever your past upbringing, you are not just interacting with who your partner is right now today, but you are being influenced by your own past examples that are most likely not in the best service of your relationship. This episode is about you bringing awareness into just what that unconscious behavior and impact might be.
